Distorted Reflections of Divine Possibilities

LAW IV: Disease, both physical and psychological, has its roots in the Good, the Beautiful, and the True. It is but a distorted reflection of divine possibilities.

Humanity has always been at the crossroads of divine possibilities and their distorted reflections, moving between what could be achieved and what often manifests in its place due to misplaced priorities and unrefined understanding. These dualities serve as mirrors of human aspiration and limitation, reflecting both progress and pitfalls on the path of evolution. The tension between these divine ideals and their distorted counterparts shapes the current state of human affairs, requiring careful discernment to align with what promotes growth and enlightenment. Below, we explore these contrasts, contextualizing their impact on society and spiritual development.

To illustrate this dynamic, we present a tabulated contrast between ideal divine possibilities and their distorted reflections in contemporary society:

Divine PossibilitiesDistorted Reflections
1. Shamballa force channeling will-to-good on Humanity, transforming chaotic democratic governance into a meritocratic form of enlightened governance, where power rests with the spiritually qualified, consented by an enlightened public adept in self-rule and right human relations.1. The rise of authoritarianism and regression to fascism as a reaction to chaos and inefficiency in democratic systems.
2. The binding energy of love from the planetary spiritual Hierarchy transforms self-serving human relations into right human relations built on goodwill and cooperation.2. Corporate mergers in an oligarchical plutocracy emphasize transactional relations while fostering groupthink.
3. Free energy (atomic fusion) is safely harnessed to increase leisure for spiritual culture and support human evolution in harmony with the divine plan.3. The entertainment industry monopolizes Humanity’s attention, diverting focus from deeper spiritual values.
4. Buddha represents awakening from attachment to material illusions and practicing detachment, dispassion, and discernment to reveal higher truths.4. The “woke” movement emphasizes diversity and inclusiveness indiscriminately, disregarding evolutionary differences and prematurely idealizing goals like nonbinary identity beyond humanity’s current reach.
5. A unified recognition of the same source of all religions gives rise to a New World Religion, integrating spiritual realization with democratic governance.5. Theocratic dictatorships and nationalistic movements exploit religious dogma, sowing division and perpetuating separative ideologies.

Exploring the Contrasts

1. Governance and Authority

At its highest potential, governance could reflect a Shamballa-inspired meritocracy, enlightened leadership guided by spiritual insight and public goodwill. The cooperation of spiritually evolved leaders and an informed, harmonious public offers a vision of societal order where chaos and imbalance in democratic systems are transformed into enlightened consent. Yet, distorted by fear and distrust in governance, we see the gradual rise of authoritarian structures seeking control over uncertainty, often using fascist tendencies to exploit the prevailing disorder.

This contrast reveals the existential choice between self-rule through disciplined reflection versus submission to centralized authority fueled by chaos. The meritocratic vision requires spiritual development and collective maturity, whereas authoritarianism thrives on humanity’s unpreparedness to reconcile freedom with order.

2. Relationships and Love

The divine possibility of love as a uniting force offers the potential to transform human interaction into right relationships built on mutual respect and goodwill. The binding energy of love elevates relationships past self-serving interests to cooperation and shared purpose.

However, in a distortion of this ideal, corporate mergers and the dominance of oligarchic plutocracies magnify separation and transactional dynamics. The emphasis on profits over people creates homogenized groupthink and reduces the potential for authentic connection. Humanity remains trapped in superficial agreements rather than enlightened collaboration guided by goodwill.

3. Energy and Evolution

The advent of free energy, particularly through safe atomic fusion, could mark a turning point for spiritual and material evolution. Increased leisure time would allow more individuals to engage in the culture of the soul—arts, contemplation, and service—aligning human progress with spiritual ideals.

Instead, Humanity’s fixation on entertainment culture diverts attention away from these higher values. The monopolization of time by trivial distractions stalls evolution, leaving individuals detached from purpose and tied to immediate gratification. This distortion of potential energy (both literal and metaphorical) reveals the unfinished work of refining focus toward long-term growth over short-term indulgence.

4. Awakening and Detachment

The path of the Buddha exemplifies detachment from material illusions. Analytic practices like discernment balance the emotional and intellectual faculties, guiding individuals toward clarity and enlightenment. Awakening through these methods fosters liberation from mirages of materialism and illusion.

Conversely, the modern “woke” movement oversimplifies the process of enlightenment by advancing ideas like diversity, equity, and inclusion without consideration of evolutionary stages. While well-intentioned, this movement often forgoes discernment, promoting ideals out of sync with Humanity’s readiness. Misrepresenting spiritual goals like nonbinary identity, which belong to a distant evolutionary stage, demonstrates the danger of mistaking future possibilities for present reality.

5. Religion and Unity

The possibility of defecting from exclusivist traditional religions toward the recognition of shared spiritual origins promises the emergence of a New World Religion. This synthesis integrates spiritual enlightenment with democratic governance, promoting unity over division.

However, its distorted counterpart comes as theocratic dictatorships and religious nationalism. These exploitations of spirituality isolate groups, harden ideological boundaries, and negate the universal, inclusive message inherent in all spiritual traditions. Humanity becomes divided by doctrines meant to unite and uplift, reflecting the loss of alignment with divine will.

Implications for Human Evolution

The contrasts between these divine possibilities and their distorted reflections highlight the challenges Humanity faces on the path to fulfillment. Moving toward divine possibilities—enlightened governance, right human relations, purposeful leisure, awakened discernment, and spiritual unity—requires tireless effort and an unwavering commitment to truth. However, the path to distortion is far easier, often requiring only that we surrender to ignorance, fear, or selfishness.

Each moment offers a choice to align with the forces of spiritual evolution or fall prey to distraction and distortion. The legacy of Humanity’s collective will lies in the balance of these choices. To nurture divine possibilities, we must master the art of discernment, cultivate goodwill, and hold steadfast to higher ideals. Only then can the great potentials latent in Humanity take form, transforming not only our own destiny but that of the world we inhabit.


LAW IV (continuation): The thwarted soul, seeking full expression of some divine characteristic or inner spiritual reality, produces—within the substance of its sheaths—a point of friction. Upon this point the eyes of the personality are focused, and this leads to disease. The art of the healer is concerned with the lifting of the downward focused eyes unto the soul, the true Healer within the form. The spiritual or third eye then directs the healing force, and all is well.
